"Chu Yao, why are you disobedient? Did you see that man has a shotgun? How dangerous it is!"
Tie Jun pulled Chu Yao aside and complained all over. Chu Yao glanced at Tie Jun and cried even harder.
"Well, let's leave first!"
Shitou pulled Tielin, said something to Tiejun and his back, and ran away without waiting for Tiejun to say anything.
"Are you still mean to me? Aren't I worried about you? Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
"I...I'm fine! Okay, stop crying, let's go back quickly!"
Chu Yao nodded, wiped her tears and followed Tie Jun, walking back one step at a time.
Quickly walking back to the river, Shitou and Tie Lin were staring at the pants bags lying on the ground in a daze, while Tie Jun burst into laughter.
"It seems that someone took off their pants to help us. Go back and get the pants to find someone. Stop the ink stains and take them away!"
After Tie Jun finished speaking, Shitou and Tie Lin started to take action, each with two bags, staggering forward. Chu Yao hugged one and walked very aggressively.
"These look like navy pants?"
After walking for a while, Chu Yao pointed at Tie Jun's back and said.
"How do you know?"
"He is the only one in our class who wears wool, and these are wool pants!"
Tielin stretched his neck to take a look and shook his head.
"I don't see anything special about it, it's just a pair of blue pants!"
"Don't worry about it. You'll know after you remove the mantis and ask!"
Shitou turned around and shouted in front, but Chu Yao didn't say anything and continued walking forward.
"you two?"
After walking for a while, Tie Jun, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked Chu Yao.
"What's wrong with us?"
"Nothing."
Tie Jun felt a little regretful and asked why he was doing this. With the conditions of his own family, why was he just dreaming about a peach blossom?
Chu Yao didn't say anything until they arrived at Shitou's house, and Tie Jun didn't know what to say and was bored to the end.
They unloaded the crickets into Shitou's yard without counting them. Shitou went into the house to get the chatterbox, and Chu Yao picked up the pair of woolen trousers.
Tie Jun felt very sad. He had never had sex with someone before, so he didn't know whether he was jealous or not.
Shitou came out quickly, holding a rectangular radio. It looked expensive at first glance, and Tielin laughed.
"I will give you mantis tofu tonight, and you will give me golden milk for this!"
"Hey, thank you, Brother Shitou!"
Tie Lin took the radio, turned around and ran away. Tie Jun said thank you again and walked back side by side with Chu Yao.
As they approached the door of the house, they heard Diandian humming, Tie Lin comforting Diandian, Tiejun entering the hospital, and Chu Yao raised her hand to hang her pants on the door.
Dandan was standing quietly again, and grandma was squatting on the ground. She didn't see the triangular pocket, and Tie Jun's eyelids twitched.
"Milk, how are you?"
"Alas! My neck is broken, even the gods can't do anything. Old Dan, I can't bear it anymore. Please forgive me!"
Dandan moved, lowered her head, bent her legs, and leaned on Meimei's body. She inserted her sharp beak into Meimei's feathers and slowly combed them.
Diandian suddenly went berserk, stuck his head into the chicken coop and started biting it, which made the chickens jump in fright. Diandian didn't actually bite him, maybe he hid in the chicken coop and cried.
"Chirp chirp chirp quack!"
Dandan glanced and nodded, raised his head, stretched his neck to the limit, and let out a long series of calls. Soon, a response came from the distance, one long sound and two short ones.
Hearing this cry, he pulled his head back slightly, looked at his father blankly, and knelt down.
"Chirp!"
Dandan stretched her neck and pulled Dian Dian closer, and the family hugged each other. Chu Yao hid behind Tie Jun, stretched out her fingers, twisted Tie Jun's arm and began to cry.
Tie Jun endured the pain and looked at the crane family in front of him. He slowly closed his eyes and bowed his head in silence. Tie Lin did the same. The old lady sighed and stood up slowly.
"Gah!"
Dandan soared into the sky, "Quack!" Diandian jumped up, but the old lady suddenly reached out and grabbed Diandian's long legs.
"Boss, second child, hold it for me. Its father is going to die for his love, and the little one can't be lost!"
The two brothers quickly hugged Diandian and raised their heads together, Dandan circled around the house, and Chu Yao hugged the old lady.
"Milk, milk, if Diandian doesn't have its mother, how can it live without its father?"
"Girl, the red-crowned crane is the most infatuated animal in the world. You only love once in a lifetime. Once you love it, it lasts a lifetime. If one is gone, the other will die in love.
Even if grandma can stop Old Dan, he will die without eating or drinking. Why watch him being tortured? Alas! Be obedient and close your eyes!"
The old lady hugged Chu Yao tightly, put her right hand back, and pressed Chu Yao's head into her arms.
"Chirp!"
After circling the house three times, Dandan flew higher and higher, and circles of white shadow appeared in the sky. Tiejun looked carefully and saw that they were cranes, holding each other head to tail, and there were actually nine circles.
"Dandan is the Crane King. This is the highest funeral ceremony in the Red-crowned Crane Kingdom. Diandian takes the throne today and will follow the cranes soon."
After hearing the old lady's words, Chu Yao cried even harder. Diandian stopped struggling and looked up at the sky, as if she had grown up all of a sudden.
The last crane chirped in the sky, and a small black dot swooped down. The crane chirped non-stop, from far to near, and followed the chirping bit by bit. The sound was not loud, but it did not stop.
"Alas! Amitabha!"
For some reason, Tie Jun recited the Buddha's name. A strong wind blew against his face, and Dan Dan's red crown grew bigger and bigger. Tie Jun closed his eyes again and recited Amitabha Buddha again.
"puff!"
Dandan bumped into Meimei's body, blood spattered everywhere, and the two red-crowned cranes hugged each other forever. I am in you, you are in me, and it becomes eternity!
"Grandma, why, oooooo, grandma, grandma!"
Chu Yao hugged the old lady hard, and the old lady had a firm look on her face and hugged Chu Yao tightly.
"Stop crying, let's send our little Crane King to the throne!"
Grandma finally stood up. Brother Tiejun let go, walked up to the old lady, and tapped her little feet a few times.
"Dian Dian, as long as grandma lives, this home will be yours, go ahead, my little queen!"
"call out!"
Spreading its wings bit by bit, it passed through nine white circles. The white circles dissipated from bottom to top, and finally formed a human figure. It flew farther and farther, flew higher and higher, until it disappeared from the sight of several people.
"Grandma, I have a headache. I'm going back first!"
Chu Yao finally stopped sobbing. The old lady stretched out her hand to wipe Chu Yao's face and whispered: "Girl, people must learn to love before they are qualified to enjoy life!"
"Grandma, I remember!"
Chu Yao left without looking at Tie Jun, and Tie Jun didn't look at Chu Yao either. He looked up at the sky, with Dandan's last wail in his mind.
The door of memory was closed, and Tie Jun hugged Chu Yao and danced slowly on the dance floor. Chu Yao raised her head and looked at Tie Jun without blinking.
"Miss grandma? Think a little bit?"
"Well, you didn't think about it?"
"Of course I want to, let's go see grandma during the Chinese New Year, Diandian won't be back until spring!"
"Well, let's wait until Dalin comes back. If Dalin really brings his girlfriend back, grandma will be happy!"
"That's best, mom will be happy too!"
The two of them whispered and swayed farther and farther to the music.
"Late Qiu, I have a headache, let's go first!"
The winter rain patters against the late autumn, and the late autumn is stunned.
"Sister Xiaoyu, stop competing, it's pointless!"
"No!"
Putting on his windbreaker, Dong Yu's slender figure elongated, ignoring the waving goodbyes of several movie stars, late autumn smiled bitterly, shook the fat wine glass, and a drop of brandy flew up.
